Hello,
I can't seem to get the great data when I am running my heat sink model through ANSYS NLT. I feel like I am overlooking something. Is anyone experienced and has some guidance. It is a simple convection problem with a certain amount of watts running through a cooper pipe into a copper heat sink.

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
